I have been told by my father that my, now deceased, Grandfather (from Idaho) left a trust for me and my brother and sisters. I am trying to find out if such a trust still exists, and if it still does, if we are still elegible to receive it.
How do I go about finding out about it? Is there a central place that they are filed, etc?
I understand that it was to help pay for college. We are all in our 30's now, and I am interested in finding out about it, because even though I didn't get it, I would like to use it (if I am still entitled to it) to help pay for my childrens' education.
Would the executor, (my Uncle who now lives in Turkey) have any legal claim to it if we haven't received yet?
Is he legally obligated to give it to my siblings and I?
Would the trust still be "sitting" there?
I haven't thought about it until now when my kids are nearing college age and I would like to be able to use it for them.
I would appreciate any help you can offer.
